If I understand it correctly Magister Negi Magi-Negima was created by Ken Akamatsu who also happens to be behind Love Hina. I happen to like Magister Negi Mage – Negima a lot more than Love Hina. The last four episodes of Magister Negi Mage – Negima especially blew my mind, not to mention Negi got to kiss all the girls.

Negima and Eureka are still in the process of being dubbed and put onto DVD hence the restarts in the show.

Last volume of Eureka 7 is out next month unsure about Negima.

That was a stupid move imo... To pu it on tv and it not even finish it's dubbing... So now they will have to re-show the show just for those last episodes... Or maybe they will just show the last episodes, in which I would have forgotten the first episodes... :(

That only takes place in the 2nd season of the show.

That means I’ll have to wait for Animax to screen season 2 , damn that's sure to be a long wait.

Despite all its faults (namely Lip sync issues I really like Hinotori – The Phoenix. There is just something about it that reminds of me of the type of anime we saw back in the 80’s. Maybe it’s just me but somehow it just seems a little inappropriate to show a series like Hinotori – The Phoenix in such an early timeslot, it’s really quite violent.

I have really not enjoyed the shows I have seen on Animax - having the share drive with the English subs was so so much better - it is just that the English voices 'dont gel' as well as the Jap ones...

If it wasn’t for the dub I don’t think I’d be able to watch Blackjack because @ 02h00 in the morning I’m too tired to read subtitles. I’m not a big fan of Bandai’s dubs but I must admit the dub for Eureka 7 is better than most of their titles. I’m just wondering how long the reruns will continue

One of the guys a transporters son lived in South Africa with his wife and kids and got cancer so the guy wanted to give up the illigal transporting job and go live with his dieing son.

Anyway most of the good stuff I've already seen and those that I haven't I already finished watching in the first month. So far they've only added 4 new shows and they just keep repeating everything else.

Animax is going to go the same way that Sci-fi channel went all those years ago. Everyone one thought it was the snizz the first couple of months until the re runs started to show. Then the complaining started and soon afterwards it got removed.

Animax is going down the same path, I did predict this would happen but people called me negative oh well.

I am not sure how Animax will achieve showing Black Lagoon Season 2 since Geneon the distributer is no more so no dubbing or dvd printing has been done of the show yet.

I think Animax jumped the gun a bit.

True is was good until they started with the 12 hour Star Trek marathons. Lets hope Animax doesn't go down that path...

Sorry but would you care to elaborate.

Currently there’s a promo running on DSTV promoting Skunk Fu!; Ben 10 and Hinotori – The Phoenix. This is somewhat misleading and as a result people now tend to mistake Hinotori – The Phoenix for a “cartoon”
All shows with the exception of Hinotori – The Phoenix (episodes air on Animax) are shown on Cartoon Network


Five minutes into the first episode (Hinotori – The Phoenix) the character we are lead to believe is main protagonist meets his end, later when his village is attacked all the men are killed, as are the old and infirm. Next children under a certain age are slaughtered; the beautiful women are separated from the others (and we all know what happens to beautiful women in war) You can actually see how one warrior is pin cushioned with arrows till he resembles a porcupine. It’s not all doom and gloom though because in one episode we’re treated to a full backal nudity scene courtesy of the beautiful princes. Well as you can see it clearly not a program for children, the early morning and late afternoon time slot (when it’s broadcast) doesn’t help either

Someone wrote/e-mailed a letter to DSTV asking about new series and new episodes on Animax .This was their reply.

“Thank you for your e-mail. We apologize for the delayed response.
Please be advised that MultiChoice, whilst not programming nor scheduling the individual channels, does work very closely with its channel suppliers to provide the best possible content for the African Market.

Repeats are integral to the business plans of pay TV channel providers and a necessary component in the multi-channel environment, for viewer convenience, as well as due to the manner in which movie rights are secured. To package a channel with fewer repeats would make the cost of the channel astronomical and thus not affordable for the DStv viewer

We confirm that due to delivery problems with the material of Eureka Seven, we were forced to restart Eureka Seven from Episode 1. We are trying to get the outstanding episodes on air as soon as possible

For Magister Negi Magi and Black Lagoon 2nd session we are planning to air both shows sometime this year.

With regards to the repeats, MultiChoice works closely with channel suppliers to ensure that programming meets quality standards for a premiun Pay-TV platform.

It is difficult to please every subscriber as subcribers have different tastes and preferences; therefore DSTV offers a variey of programmes and channels to cater for a huge and diverse subscriber base.

Repeating programmes is very valuable as it also allows other subcribers to catch up on a programme they would have otherwise missed. We provide repeats because our customer' request them.

Before purchasing any new programmes, there is an agreement between MultiChoice and the supplier that there will be so many screenings of a certain programme over specific time period. Once these screenings have been aired can we then purchase new episodes.

We have retained your query on record in order for us to follow up on your request for new programming."

Kind regards
